We took ourselves to Chermside, haven't been there for yonks.  Of course a lunch of Yishiki Pad Thai was on the books  (yummmm). We knew we had 3 hours free parking so we wandered for a while.

A big day was to be had on Sat. after walking/being pushed over to ground for the,  Bronco's V Cowboys exhibition match. 2 matches earlier were Dolphins V Northern Pride.  We were at gates when they opened at 2.15pm to get bottom row  seats cos l wasn't able to stay in wheelchair  (for safety reasons).......     Sooooo a very enjoyable evening was has. By tye time we  got back home we were both knackered.

Sunday,   Dirk brought scooterr up to apt. door.  Once l was organised l took myself down to Sunday Market and Suttons Beach to watch the sky divers.  WOW,  wouldn't l love to now be able to do that...

A rainy day catch up...

This is my first time at blogging...


Tuesday 24/01/12
What a lovely day l had yesterday. Met up with my friend Kellie sat Redcliffe, Coffee Club at 1120am. Just got seated outside and the sky opened up.  Got re seated inside, nice and comfortably where we spent the next almost 4 hours, chatting & generally catching up on her life in Middle East (Saudi Arabia) Nursing for the last 3 years. And my life here in Redcliffe.  It was still pouring when Dirk walked down from our home, brolly and waterproof sheet in hand to get me & my scooter home as dry as possible.

Well here it is 24 hrs later and its still raining.....Sitting in our apt. with door open and watching the rain soaking our front patio & garden bed.
